YOUtube has made video publishing so simple that a caveman can do it. Consequently, every idiot with a video camera and an adolescent sense of humor is out there publishing wrestling promos about how "great" his own promotion is while denegrating other wrestling promotions by saying "they suck" or some equally childish crudity.
I call these backyard videos "Yellow Promos" in honor of the yellow bellied cowards sho "shoot" them.
They are all pretty nearly identical. Some yahoo sits on a dimly lit set or perhaps in a car, while driving, and goes off on who or what he thinks is bad for wrestling. The audio is almost always crappy. Production value ranges somewhere between bad porn and muslim beer commercials and always - always the poor viewer has to slog through 6 to 8 minutes of stuttering to get to the point, which always is that there is no point.
Yellow promos make wrestling look stupid.
Yellow promos make wrestling promoters look stupid.
Yellow promos make wrestlers look stupid.
Yellow promos make fans feel stupid after they have wasted 8 minutes of their lives watching them.
Promotions who need to bash other promotions in order to aggrandize themselves are in every way undeserving of a single dollar from an honest wrestling fan.
Promoters should concentrate their energy on promoting the virtues of their own shows.
Promotions as a team should be prepared to outperform other promotions - overwhelm them with excellence, not lay down false promises of being "better than so and so" only to just be crappy.
Yellow promos hurt everyone and should be banned.
